Enabling a student's CustomCollegePlan account

Each student client you work with can be set up to have their own student account, which we call CustomCollegePlan. This account provides a way for them to log in to their own profile. Once inside their profile, students can see To-Do items, their college lists, admission tasks, add ACT/SAT test scores, and communicate with you. 

How to enable a student’s CustomCollegePlan account

1. Navigate to the student’s profile within CollegePlannerPro
2. In the top left corner of the student’s profile toggle the Account Button from Disabled to Enabled.

• In order to enable a Student’s CustomCollegePlan account these are the requirements:
  • The student must be set to an Active status
  • The Student must have an email address added to their account profile information. Click here to learn how to add one: How do I edit a student's contact information?

Sending the student (and - optionally - their parents) CustomCollegePlan login information

• For your student to be able to log in to their account, they will need to set up a password for their account. This is done by providing the student with a one-time activation link. To invite the student to create their password, use the “Email Student Name activation info” button. No email will be sent immediately; instead, a dialog window will open with additional options. Select the appropriate options and click “Send Email” to email your student their account activation link.

Your student (optionally their parents) will receive an email message containing the Activation link along with their Username (which is their email address). The email looks like this:

• If you prefer to invite your student to activate their CustomCollegePlan account within the context of your own email or message, simply copy the activation link from within the Account Settings:
